Here are 6 wrong lessons from the porn industry:

1. Women are always ready. Porn is flawed right from the time you hit Play on the DVD player. While there are women who are ready for sex at the drop of a hat, most require some kind of effort besides eloquent, smooth lines like, “You ready?” or “How about some?” Do men really think that a line like “Wanna bump uglies?” is going to get them in the mood? It’s going to take a little more than that to get a woman to relax enough to forget about work stress, money worries, the kids, boring chores and everything else that is preying on her mind.

2. All women want to do anything for the man, while he provides a bare minimum. This is highlighted in every movie and in every scene. 99 percent of sex scenes start with …. (wait for it) … a —– . Of course … because she’s been sitting around all day just waiting to perform that act.

3. Foreplay is not necessary. No need for all that pesky foreplay — kissing is overrated, ambiance is unnecessary, creating any kind of a mood is just a waste of time. Just give it to me now! Sometimes a quickie is just what a woman wants, but every time? No way!

4. Everything on a woman is … uh … “accessible”... and she wants you to do whatever you want to her body. Yeah, right. Sure. Women want no ambience, no foreplay, no attraction to their partners, and no privacy as a man inserts his various extremities and pounds every possible bodily opening (perhaps without any lubrication). Please…

5. Nipples are there specifically for men to abuse. In porn land, pounding, pulling, pinching, twisting and prodding obsessively — with ever-increasing intensity — on the most sensitive of a woman’s body parts will earn men extra points. Can we please acknowledge that there is a real difference between aggressive sex and clumsy, seventh-grade experimentation? Some women are into pain and kink … but not all. (A clearer definition: Erotic might be a feather … Kinky is the whole chicken.)

6. All women are naturally attracted to other women. Ah yes … the Holy Grail of sex for men: The threesome. There’s nothing wrong if she’s into it, but you won’t catch most women hanging out a with a friend, dressed as secretaries (or school girls, or teachers, or bikini-wearing “housewives”) with blue eye shadow and sticky red lip gloss, waiting for the guy to come home (or knock on the door with a pizza delivery) so they can do him together.

These examples showcase the massive disconnect between what most women really want, and what men are being exposed to on a constant basis. If men are being turned on by an ever-increasing selfishness in bed, it’s no wonder sex lives are suffering (which I’m not just assuming … I’ve been told). I’m not suggesting that sex needs to be candles, soft music and aromatherapy every time, but assuming all women want these things is B.S.; there’s just no other term for it. And I’m also not suggesting that men should be doing all the work to create the mood, but I would suggest that there are rewards to be reaped for reading the scene, creating the right environment, and moving slowly … ending in a fever pitch.

Seduction is not over-rated … and it starts way before you enter the bedroom.
